I hate when he does that. He gets so many banjo fans hopes up. He isn't working on a Banjo game but leaves hints to make people believe that he is.

I think the problem is that he doesn't think about the expectations of the fans to begin with all the time. For him, there's probably many things that seem unbelievable at first. I thought it might be an animated movie, for example... that would be a special thing for Grant from his current perspective.

He should put "You won't believe what I'm working on, and NO it isn't Banjo"

Whatever it is, Grant's clearly excited about it. Certainly having with his reply to Taylor... and seeminly hasn't ruled out Banjo. Definite vibes of a known IP with "you wouldn't believe."

What if he's collaborating on whatever David Wise's project is.- If Nintendo does any sort of research on how a game is received, the'd recognize that reviewers and fans loved Tropical Freeze's soundtrack and David Wise has name recognition among hardcore gamers. - Retro and Wise mutually enjoyed working together- Grant has applied at Retro (a while ago, before DKC: TF was announced) and is interested in Nintendo-style games- Grant and Wise presumably have open communication given that they are working on Yooka together!

Just saying it's perhaps... plausible?? Would be cool to have Grant collaborating with Nintendo again

Just found out about this rumour. Congrats to Grant for getting a Mario gig but aren't those Rabbids like from a tacky casual family party game? Why those? I can think of much better properties to cross over with.

This game certainly has me interested with grants involvement but I'm far from sold.

Grant composing for Mario is enough to make me interested. (And I'm really curious how this collaboration came to be ... including Grant at least hints at a development environment open to interesting ideas.)

The Rabbids remains unappealing for me, and were it not for this project, I would've preferred to have forgot the IP completely.

Hmm ... if Nintendo's careful, controlled classic Mario balances out the Rabbids' slapsticky toilet humor maybe we will get something more in that tastefully unorthodox "Rareware" realm. In the end it all comes down to execution.

Grant hasn't denied this rumor, despite the twitter noise, and he's usually pretty interactive. If this is all true, the'll be a nice soundtrack to youtube at the very least!
